Kiss vs Janela Street Fight Appreciation

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

This is a match peeps gotta go out of their way to see. They killed it, really good stuff.

Hope they all raised their stock with this one, they earned it.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

That should be a star making performance for both of them. Here's hoping that they get showcased on Dynamite & Rampage from now on.

I hope they get showcased more anyway. Like Janela could easily move up in the world and face the KIngston's or Guevara's of the world, Sonny absolutely needs a breakout year in 2022

Both definitely felt like they were fighting to prove why they deserve their contracts, and did not disappoint.

I feel like they showed it during the Newark match a few weeks back but hopefully this is enough to wake people up. With Newark next week, they could have easily put this on that Rampage, but good on them for tearing it down here.

I feel like a Rampage with Hook and Sonny Kiss’ glorious ass would draw a 1999 post- PPV Raw rating

Why not put this on TV?

You need to have some stuff actually happen on DARK for people to care about it, and this wasa feud that started on DARK, escalated on DARK, and culminated on DARK, just like Swole and Diamante's did 

Not saying they both don't deserve TV, they do, but it's not a bad thing to have a banger on DARK

It is when it’s with underutilized talent that never see the light of day on Dynamite and Rampage.

This really did deserve to be televised. Sonny is the most underutilized talent AEW has…he has serious potential to be a breakout star for the company, and every time he’s in a big match he delivers.

I hope he makes it into TNT title contention in 2022. Or at least gets to the level of the guys like Dante and Garcia, who at least feature on TV semi-frequently.

Janela and Kiss are still feuding? jeez talk about never ending feuds

I get it, I would have liked to see it on a Rampage too

There's a Newark show coming up, maybe they've earned it to have a blowoff match 3 there

They've been having great matches, and it hasn't been a consistent weekly feud, it was more Kiss got taken out, was gone for awhile, Janela started stringing wins together with Rossi, then Sonny returned and the feud actually turned into matches.

Made sure to watch it when I was free, they busted thenselves for what is a Studio Show, I respect it, hopefully they are rewarded

Big fan of both so I'll be checking out Dark for the first time

Is this the main event?

Yes it is! I also recomment Nese vs Anthony Greene and Cassidy/Yuta vs The WIngmen, they're very fun matches

Cool I'll give them a watch, cheers

Also, for anyone concerned about how long Dark can be, this past episode was just one hour, so it was a pretty smooth watch.

Yes, this match was damn good, and I really, really want 2022 to be the year these two Jersey-ites get pushed back onto TV. It's tough when the roster suddenly gets stacked with names like Danielson, Punk, etc., but it's clear they've been working hard, Sonny is done with college now, Joey's putting in serious work to show his commitment, and both of them offer something unique for the product and deserve that chance, so I'm hopeful.

As for "why Dark?", we did spend a long time during the pandemic with Dark just being crammed with as many matches as possible to allow people a chance to work when things were at their worst, but having at least shorter storylines on Dark allows wrestlers who haven't gotten onto Dynamite or Rampage enough a nice outlet to show what they can do and, while Elevation/Dark aren't watched the way the main shows are, still get exposure to a YouTube audience that's regularly over 250,000. For this week there was Joey vs. Sonny (and yes, I'm hoping they let them have the rubber match in Newark next week on Rampage, at least) with some build behind it, and they had promos last week setting up Bear Country vs. The Acclaimed; it's not a lot, but it serves its purpose.

I'm cautiously looking forward to this, because Sonny seems like a prospect since Lucha Underground (which is a long time for being a prospect) and the Piledriver through the table looks gorgeous. The other two gifs don't exactly make me hot for the match, but I'll see.
